Strong Enhancement of Electromagnetic Shower Development in Oriented Scintillating Crystals and Implications for Particle Detectors
Mattia Soldani, Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Alessia Selmi +31
A particle traversing a crystal aligned with one of its crystallographic axes experiences a strong electromagnetic field that is constant along the direction of motion over macrosc…
Searches for hidden sectors using decays
NA62 Collaboration
Results from the study of the rare decays , and at the NA62 experiment at CERN are interpreted…
R&D on a high-performance electromagnetic calorimeter based on oriented crystalline scintillators
M. Soldani, N. Argiolas, L. Bandiera +36
Although inorganic scintillators are widely used in the design of electromagnetic calorimeters for high-energy physics and astrophysics, their crystalline nature and, hence, their…
A highly-compact and ultra-fast homogeneous electromagnetic calorimeter based on oriented lead tungstate crystals
L. Bandiera, V. G. Baryshevsky, N. Canale +25
Progress in high-energy physics has been closely tied to the development of highperformance electromagnetic calorimeters. Recent experiments have demonstrated the possibility to si…
Search for hadronic decays of feebly-interacting particles at NA62
NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at CERN has the capability to collect data in a beam-dump mode, where 400 GeV protons are dumped on an absorber. In this configuration, New Physics particles, i…
Experimental Study of Rare Kaon Decays at J-PARC with KOTO and KOTO II
J. K. Ahn, E. Augustine, L. Bandiera +62
The rare kaon decay is extremely sensitive to new physics, because the contribution to this decay in the Standard Model (SM) is highly suppressed and known ver…
